 >To imply that Catholics and protestants are Gnostic is a bit far fetched.

Actually I wasn't implying it; I was pretty much coming right out and 
saying it.  Namely, that there is no essential difference between 
mainstream "spiritual enlightenments" than the more obscure, esoteric ones.

 >Many people who wants to become some or other kind of super being (albeit in
a computer) is Gnostic.

Aha!  Until now, John, we had no clue what you were really talking 
about.  Am I to conclude correctly here that you think gnosticism 
("spiritual knowledge") is to be obtained by becoming One With The 
Singularity?  If not, please tell us in more detail exactly what you are 
indeed talking about.

 >Cryonaut means pioneer.

Hm.  I bet you were actually thinking about that word "Cryoneer" (shudder) 
that some Crack Pot here once suggested.  That was even worse, but 
"cryonaut" isn't much better.

  >I guest you call astronauts
"astronicists". Now that is goofy.

Actually I'm trying to help save the world from a stupid mistake similar to 
that one, re: cryonics.  There is no such thing as an "astronaut" and 
"astronicist" has no meaning in real time/space.  "Lunanauts" is about all 
we have seen for real so far.  You can call them "lunaticists" or even a 
related word I won't mention, if you wish.  But even "lunanaut" sounds 
goofy, because there isn't much water up there to wade thru.
